Hi David thanks for the advice, not a telemaster but a blackhorse liberty 182 electric really easy plane to fly, I have also a black horse Sedona that needs a maiden flight , but my junior 60 is my favourite can t wait for a calm summer day to fly it David.

I only fly 72inch trainers and my junior 60 all electric, probley because I'm happy with them i really don't want to break any of my models , I have all ways found the site great for advice and insperation , your correct don it is a nervous thing , thanks for all advice Dave

Hi all, not been flying for a couple of years now and not been on forum , I want to get back flying this spring just not sure the best way to start , I spent every weekend to get my solo status from my instructor and enjoyed flying every weekend, should i just go for it , or get some help from a instructor probley just a confidence thing , any tips would be welcome dave

Hi Ken, in the same boat as you , but was told daughter could not have children , but God was looking down on us have a lovely baby Alice, it's given me a new lease of life now , lost mum and job last year , but have my little bubba to keep me going, good luck mate. Baby dept. Dave

After 40 years of shift work, the most I get after a 12 hour day is 6 hour's , and 4 to 5 after a night shift, does not matter what I do I can't sleep any more, I'm not worried about the lack of sleep ,but do think about if I have caused any damage to the old body after all this time ,just been made redundant so hope I can get back into normal pattern.

Thanks, cliff, and frank for your reply, I know some people don't know what to say but thank you dave.

I am hoping it will be a new start , I think I needed the push , but I realy liked my job and was good at it, don't think my skills will be can be used unless I go to china ???? ,

I work for what was the biggest photo graphic company in this country, I have to be very careful what I say as they have tied me up with contracts, dave

Hi all its, its been a been a long time since I have posted any message, here we go , lost mum last year, now I have been made redundant after 36 years, my lovely daughter has a baby now 6 month old, and my other daughter is now flying with BA, its great to have the baby with me and the wife , it keeps me on track and gives me a purpose on life, my older daughter is flying all over the world and this is her dream, we both love aviation biggin hill is our favorite, just thinking where do I go from here, I have a lovely family to support me, but when you have been the bread winner all these years , I cant sit at home as I have to be doing something, missed my club night this week and really wanted to go but I forgot, not been flying for a long time , really like a job at the airport but don't want shift work after 36 years any more, looks like sainsburys, of tescos, any way enough of my self pity, must me loads of guys in the same position thanks dave.

HI Pat, thanks for the tip the cg was a long way and i had to put just over a 1 lb up front of lead, from previous advise its safe to push the cg back to the main spar or even more, she does glide very straight and level at the moment, and all up weight is about 4.7 lb bit on the heavy side, i have the servo on the maximum travel and only has about 1/4 inch travel on the elevator , could i put a larger servo arm or a bigger clevis on the elevator to get more movement before i change the cg .Dave.

Hi all, just a update on the junior 60, not been flying for a couple of months so today i decided i would maiden her, about 6 people today at the field but know instructors around or any one who would maiden her, so it was up to me to do it, she went straight down the patch and up she went, i never flown a plane that has given me so much fun to fly, the rudder was very responsive and no trimming was needed, the elevator felt like it was doing nothing it just took the nose up and down a little no trimming needed but i could do with a bit more movement , i could not believe how slow it flys and with 300watts im never going to use it it was happy on 1/4 throttle, the rest off the boys all came over and said how good she looks in the air, looks like they were realy intrested and commented about her, looks like i got some brownie point with the old timers which was a very nice compliment , 15 mins flight time on 3s 2200 im happy with that, never built from a plan before so its all been worth it in the end but just took to long to build, and big thank you for all the help and tips i got .Dave

Thanks again pat, tried it 112 mm behind and it was not far out, tried from the main spar about 3 inches and it needs only about half 6oz , Dave.
